Ashe and Yuri: The only good things to ever come out of Western Faerghus. Corentin, Archibald, Medina, Quahog, Decimal: The only good things to ever come out of Hyzante.
As a devout Christian if there's one thing I've learned in my life, its never trust organized religion. and I certainly never trusted Hyzante to be anything but evil.
I personally believe organized religion can be very powerful force for good and, if still supported by God, can guide people. However if that religion stops following God or tries to distort Him for personal gain than devotion to God requires one reject that religion. In other words blindly following a religion is not devotion and in fact may lead to the opposite
Same here dude, reminds me of how an old boss of mine said “Why should I listen to someone else’s interpretation of a book I can read myself?” I fucken live by those words
When I saw you did a Hyzante video, I KNEW you must've done everything else for Triangle Strategy. I was excited for two reasons: 1. Ooh! Another great analysis video! Cannot wait!!! 2. You're telling me...other people still know about / care about this game?
You really have a knack for weaving an interesting tale that draws the viewer in. If anything I'd add is a bit more levity in some of your discussions. When you make those cute little jokes it adds a bit of life to your words.
I've heard this analogy somewhere: Idore is to Rhea as Gustadolph is to Edelgard. Basically, two male antagonists who are way more evil versions of our favorite Three Houses waifus.
Hyzante keeps using the phrase "equality" to describe themselves, but it couldn't be further from the truth. It's a state built on ideas of herrenvolk and ethnic supremacy, that is as far from what they claim to be as possible. And I'm on the fence as to whether or not the game seems to know this.
All people are equal, but not all "humans" are people. If you can manage to dictate what is "human" who is "with you", then you can treat everyone else as "lesser than" allowing for greater welfare of "people" with the sacrifice of the "lesser beings"
One thing I never truly understand in this game, is why Hyzante is so powerful with their salt, like everyone seems to need it to live. No because unlike the Diofield Chronicles with the jade, it's just something normal from our world. Heck even Drogan diary reveal they're not even using it to salt meat, so all game I wondered why they seems so obsessed with the salt like they can't live without it.
You literally cannot live without salt. In the Archives in Aesfrost there is a book detailing the effects of chronic salt deficiency. If you don't believe me, look up what hyponatremia can do to your body. It's likely why Lord Symone was so sick, too. Lack of ready access to salt can cause extreme heart problems.
@@brooksjourney2351eh? Do you think cavemen in the neolithic dug up salt to survive ? Tons of food naturally contains sodium, such as meat and basically all vegetables. The people of Norzelia would have survived easily without the salt of Hyzante. It makes little sense in game
@@ninototo1 clearly you don't understand the economic superpower salt would be in a society that otherwise had no ready access to it. Yes, healthy sodium levels can be maintained with a steady diet. No, that doesn't mean people would be fine. Salt doesn't just prevent hyponatremia, it's also vital for food preservation without refrigeration (which Norzelia clearly doesn't have).
@@brooksjourney2351 "Yes, healthy sodium levels can be maintained with a steady diet" . So your entire argument has been refuted. You just need to eat normally to maintain healthy sodium levels. As for food preservation, that would be a fair point but if you had paid attention to the game, you'd know it is explicitly stated they don't use salt for food preservation.
The only good thing about Hyzante is it doesnt encourage its holy warriors to engage in holy martyrdrom. I expected one of the saintly seven to charge at us with a blast crystal screaming "For the Goddess!" /S Satire aside, I do find an interesting point about Hyzante's lack of martyrdom culture despite being based on the caliphates in MENSA is justified. If you encourage martyrs and the Roselle who suffer the most realized their suffering can become a form of martyrdom, it would destroy Hyzante as easily as they will blow themselves up using the aelfric made from their kin to spur up religous fervor.
Absolutely fantastic series of videos. Triangle Strategy is one of my all-time favorite games and I’m pleased to see it getting some proper recognition.
Thank you for these videos TheHearthGuy, this saga and the Xenoblade one have been perfect to relax a little during my Sunday afternoons. Keep up the good work
That would be awesome but the lore of Octopath is much more convoluted than Triangle Strategy (At least Octopath I with all the stuff from Champions of the Continent)
This sounds (ironically, some may say) a bit like a less utilitarian version of the Qun from Dragon Age, and even they believe in some level of separation of church and state

I can totally agree about the never trusting any religion thing
At least they don't rape children. YAY FOR THE ERSB!

@@megarotom1590 all organised religion is led by humans, not some deity, so it's bound to be abused.
Oh, Hyzante. You gave me some of my favorite units to use, but you also made my boy Roland an idiot in your route. This truly is an SRPG experience.

This game has me obsessed since I played it and It makes me sooooo happy seeing that people still make content about it

Everything Hyzante is what people accused the Church of Serios of being.
Ngl I’d find edel so much compelling if they were
I've heard this analogy somewhere: Idore is to Rhea as Gustadolph is to Edelgard. Basically, two male antagonists who are way more evil versions of our favorite Three Houses waifus.
@@aldadebater well no because Rhea did nothing wrong, Rhea was forced into her position, Idore choose to do this with his free will ironically.
Okay but why is this completely accurate XD

I think the game knows it lmao, the final boss of the true ending is the guy who promoted those ideals more than anyone else

Economic dominance abroad and religious/ritualistic significance at home.

Ah Norzelia, with its corrupt kingdoms, industrial darwinistic meritocracies, and communist theocracies. Truly a Triangle Strategy of pain.

They may be horrible, but I found them to be the most interesting!
Will Octopath traveler be the next theme of choice?
That would be awesome but the lore of Octopath is much more convoluted than Triangle Strategy (At least Octopath I with all the stuff from Champions of the Continent)
My favorite nation tbh. And best one since u get funny op ice mage
This sounds (ironically, some may say) a bit like a less utilitarian version of the Qun from Dragon Age, and even they believe in some level of separation of church and state
IDORE IS COOKED
Thanks for the video
I knew once I saw what they were doing, I was going to pick any side but Hyzante
Hyzante is a bit of a microcosm of Europa from Valkyria Chronicles.
Something important to mention is that while Hyzante is horrible it is the nation were the common citizien lives the best
Cool!
So it's the current United States?
More Israel. They're in the desert, are openly theocratic and don't even bother to hide their genocide.
No
